Yes staff numbers were less, but I actually enjoyed my Christmas mornings on the ward and tried to foster an atmosphere of happiness(made my staff bacon butties for breakfast)
The staff never worked a whole shift....we used to split the day so that everyone got some time with their family....and the family of staff used to be encouraged to visit the ward...have a mince pie, and a soft drink.
We always had a Jacob's join buffet....to which patients could help themselves.

Patients who could go home were allowed to do so...if only for the day, or in some cases a few hours.
This was deemed to be good for them.
Only those who either had no family, or were really too poorly to go home were kept in(invariably these were the patients with a slim grasp on life and didn't
care about grub or entertainment).
Anyway for Gerard and his wife the problem has melted away...she's coming home. Hallelujah!

Re: what would you do?

That is wonderful news. You couldn't have wished for a better Christmas present. I hope you all have a wonderful day and that Yvonne's treatment in the New Year is successful and the rest of 2018 is a very happy healthy one for you both.

Re: what would you do?

That is great news. Here's wishing you a happy and joyful Christmas. Best wishes to you and to your wife - hope she makes a speedy recovery and enjoys good health again very soon.

By the way, let's spare a thought for all those who do have to work on Christmas Day for the benefit of the community. As a matter-of-fact three from my own family group will be doing just that (my oldest son will be working a 12 hour shift).
